- Identify particular building services, BSE systems and their main components
- Identify various M&E plant requirements
- Recognise BSE drawing/schematic symbols and follow BSE System schematics
- Identify and understand the principles of operation of typical renewable energy systems
- Effectively and accurately ‘take off’ from BSE system drawings and schematics, abstract, bill and substantiate to produce a fully substantiated variation

On-the job experience
To gain maximum advantage from this course it is very important that delegates are employed in a QS role either on-site or in an office environment.This will enable successful delegates to apply their newfound knowledge and practice the new commercial skills gained from the course.Ideally the employer should appoint a supervisor or mentor from within their commercial or contracts team to develop structured relevant work experience and review progress.This will ensure that the employer enjoys maximum advantage and benefit from their investment in training.
